Kumasta Everyone!!
This week has been a quick one. We worked really hard this week. Its been hard to adjust my teaching to my new companion, but we finally got it down and the spirit is really strong in our lessons now. We had a few investigators accept a baptismal date this week. It was quite a change in them for just a week. The first day I went there, M did not want the gospel, but she kept her commitment of reading the Book of Mormon. It changed her mind. I always joke if they read the Book of Mormon they are going to get baptized because they feel the spirit!!! That's what missionary work is. All about the spirit!!
Read D&C 50:24. When you read it, think about how light always chases the dark, but dark can never overcome the light. Think about who is that light. Look up Patterns of Light by Elder David A. Bednar. Its really good!! :) Its changed the way I look at the Spirit and the Light of Christ!! That's my whole desire to feel the spirit because if it was just me teaching no one would ever get baptized.
Anyway, we have a lot of progressing investigators. A gave up smoking and coffee just like that because he wants to change :) We have a lot of investigators that are special cases. Either they are not old enough to get baptized by themselves or have not gotten married yet so we have to work around those barriers. It's tough. I had a spiritual experience at church passing the sacrament. I just remembered all the times that I passed the sacrament as a Deacon. It just reminded me that even though I am an Elder, I will always be a Deacon and I am proud of it :) I am excited for the Family Week Celebration this week :)
This week has been a good one :)
